Some of the best waterfowl hunting in the nation. Learn and share your experiences duck hunting in the Republic of Texas. From the Canada geese of the Panhandle to the Snows of Houston and estuaries for ducks on the coast and the livestock impoundments to the west.

Friend and I went out this morning and got 10 ducks and 1 snow Goose. If we'd decided to shoot scaup before 9am it would have easily been 2 more, not to say we didnt miss some greys and I missed a 30 yd shot on a Mottled duck! I was shooting slightly better than friend and got my 6 first, and waited out the geese. On shooting at a group of geese I had a weak load shoot out of my gun and the wad got jammed in the barrel!!! (Buddy shot our lone goose on that pass) I used a stick to get the wad out of the barrel, but upon looking at the amount of powder everywhere decided that was the end of my hunt.

So my question is, what do y'all keep in your blind bag in the event of a wad getting stuck in the barrel?

Have bird pics but don't know how to shrink the size of the file, I'll post if anyone can help me.

Nice shoot! Like matt said good thing ya caught! I've never shot the ultra shok but I shoot the speed shok (blue box) and never had a problem. Maybe it was just a bad shell not sure. I also shoot the Kent fasteel.

Kent Steel, Hevi Metal, and I have tried out the RIO steel this year. Honestly, I really like that RIO stuff and its only 9.99 a box. I bought a couple boxes because I love their dove loads.

I typically only shoot Kent Steel though. You can find a good deal on Rogers. I also bought a case of Hevi Metal this year for 219.99 with a $25 dollar rebate. Expensive I know, but I TRY not to compromise what I shoot (emphasis on try before I get called out for shooting rios, haha).

Cheap ***!!!! Lol...

I saw those the other day at Cabelas and wondered if they were any good. How are they compared to the Kents?
